Magic Chef Oven shuts off on its own

When your Magic Chef oven turns off by itself, the touchpad is the most likely cause, especially when some buttons respond intermittently or not at all. A faulty touchpad can make the oven shut off while baking or fail to respond to commands. Next, check the thermal fuse. If the oven overheats, this fuse trips to cut power; test it for continuity with a multimeter, and replace it if it has no continuity because it cannot be reset. A defective touchpad and control panel can also cause an oven that keeps turning off, particularly when some buttons work while others do not. If none of the buttons respond, the control board is more likely at fault. Also check for an incoming power problem, including a tripped circuit breaker. Less common causes include loose or burned connections, failed relays, or a bad Magic Chef control board or main control board. Disconnect power before testing or replacing parts. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your Magic Chef oven, including the correct touchpad, thermal fuse, control panel, or control board.

01 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad

If the oven turns off on its own, determine if some of the buttons on the touchpad respond intermittently or not at all. If so, it's likely the touchpad is faulty and should be replaced.

02 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Thermal Fuse

If the oven gets too hot, the thermal fuse trips to shut off power to the oven. If the thermal fuse has blown, the oven will not heat. However, this is not a common occurrence. To determine if the thermal fuse is at fault, use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the thermal fuse does not have continuity, replace it. The thermal fuse cannot be reset—if the fuse has blown, it must be replaced.

03 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Touchpad and Control Panel

If an oven won't turn on, it's possible the touchpad and control panel is defective. One way to help confirm this is to determine if some touchpad buttons respond while others don't. If some of the buttons still work, then it's quite probable the touchpad and control panel is faulty and requires replacement (if none of the buttons work, a defective control board is more likely the cause of the oven not turning on).

04 - Incoming Power Problem

If an oven turns off on its own there could be an incoming power problem. Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.
Common

05 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Control Board

The board sends power to all the components in the stove. If the control board connections are loose, or burnt, or the control board is turning off on its own, one of the relays or other components may be bad and the control will need to be replaced.
Less Common

06 - Magic Chef Range/Stove/Oven Main Control Board

The main control board sends power to all the components in the stove. If the control board connections are loose, or burnt, or the control board is turning off on its own, one of the relays or other components may be bad and the control will need to be replaced.
